Atomic CLR Neo vs. Standard version

I have not compared them but I believe the only difference is the weight.

There is a good shootout btwn the 2 on youtube. Neo apparently sounds a tad brighter

Wouldn't that be against Atomic's standards and premises that the CLR is absolutely neutral sounding?

Guys, the comparison (that I have not seen) most probably uses two different power amps

JM (the designer) stated that the response of the loudspeakers in themselves is identical. Of course different power amps would likely produce different sounds.

Why would a powered speaker need a power amp?

Good question. Perhaps Mr. Mitchell will chime in here.
I still believe there is no difference.

Oh, my mistake. I erroneously got the OP was asking about the differnce between his passive cab and the active NEO version. Please disregard what i wrote

I still had my CLR for a month while I beta tested the NEO. To be honest I really couldn't hear any difference. I just used a A-b box between them. But for me being the old guy that I am the light weight was a huge difference

I hear you! This is the main factor that keeps me from taking my CLR out as much as I'd want.
sadly, they are not yet available for the EU area AFAIK

They are! They've been available for a good few months (at least - I checked around end of May).

Thanks, nice to know!

You can trust that there's no meaningful difference between the tow active versions. If any, those are negligible for our uses
